You capture the moment, Sony keeps it steady - Imaging technology that captures more scenic quality
Aim for stunning clarity and detail in every scene with core imaging components that deliver superior picture quality under all conditions. Versatile control of multiple recording formats and cameras is great for easy sharing and ambitious postproduction. Plenty of other functions help make everything you shoot a pleasure for everyone to enjoy.
Get on the move and keep it steady - Balanced Optical SteadyShot for more stable images
For clearer, more stable results, Balanced Optical SteadyShot dramatically reduces the blurring and shaking of images that tends to occur when walking while shooting or zooming.
Up to 13x more stability, from wide to telephoto - Balanced Optical SteadyShot makes the Handycam up to 13x more effective at cutting camera shake, compared to that of a model using Optical SteadyShot in standard mode.
Great memories live in great images
Up to 26.8 mm wide-angle lens - Frame more landscape and indoor scenes when you can't step back.
Optical Zoom and Clear Image Zoom - Images look very sharp and less degraded even beyond the optical zoom range.
Premium recording that's ready for anything - For higher image qualities and capture capacity
Based on the professional XAVC format, the XAVC S format for consumer use supports high bitrates for recording high-resolution, action-filled movies.
Exmor R CMOS image sensor - Twice the light sensitivity of conventional sensors for outstanding low-light image capture.
BIONZ X image processing engine - Quickly transforms data from the sensor into richly textured high-resolution movies and photos.
Sony G Lens - Working with the Exmor R sensor and BIONZ X processor, the G Lens delivers superior optical performance.
Open your ears - 5.1 surround sound brings memories to life

With so much functionality so conveniently at hand, there is no end to the fun that everyone can share.
Multi Camera Control - Take command of up to five cameras simultaneously via Wi-Fi. The Handycam can control their settings making the production of multi-view movies easy.

Connect with a touch - Wi-Fi and NFC allow mobile control and image transfer
With the free PlayMemories Mobile app, remotely control your camcorder with a smartphone or tablet. You can also send data between Handycam and mobile devices over Wi-Fi at a touch using NFC.
